Lao Dao, He Jianfei and Old Man Li entered the temple hand in hand. The inside was in a mess. Master Chanyue fell to the ground, his eyes closed, and he did not know whether to live or die. The purple golden bowl was knocked aside, but it was still resisting with the colorful light and the red light of the statue. Old Uncle Li was surprised when he saw Master Chanyue's complexion turned green. When he looked at Lao Dao and He Jianfei, their faces were solemn, but there was no sign of sadness. The old Taoist stepped forward, picked up the purple gold bowl and sighed: "Old friend, we haven't seen each other for decades, right? You still have the same style." After saying that, he waved his whisk, raised it high and said : "Purple Golden Bowl, there is no magic weapon in the world that can be controlled by you. Could it be that you can't even subdue a fierce ghost?"
The purple golden bowl immediately released thousands of golden lotuses, covering the statue. In an instant, the temple shook violently, the dust fell, the soil loosened, and the rocks shook the walls. Soon, the entire open space was covered. The statue shook violently again, and the red light instantly strengthened again. The two mana fields collided violently, and the vortex swallowed each other. The old Taoist's expression changed and he said: "After so many years, you still haven't given up, are you still struggling to death? In this case, our master and disciple should not have such an attitude in the beginning. Fantasy. Why has your hatred not lessened but deepened after so many years?" Suddenly tens of thousands more red lights were added, and with a "clang", the purple golden bowl fell to the ground again. "His hatred has not deepened, it's just more regret and pain." He Jianfei's gentle voice came from the side, and the old man was stunned. At this moment, the red light suddenly froze. He Jianfei took the relic necklace from the equally astonished Old Man Li and put it close to the purple golden bowl. The relic necklace trembled slightly, resonating with the purple gold bowl, and a faint halo gradually formed. No one knew what he was going to do, and what was even more strange was that the statue actually stopped attacking. The atmosphere in the temple was suddenly filled with unbearable silence. Regret and pain? While the old Taoist was reciting the meaning, He Jianfei said slowly: "That's enough, it's time to stop. No matter what you do, you can't make up for it. How much more shame do you want to bring to the 'campus heroes'?" Old Man Li listened. When he came to the words "campus two heroes", his body trembled suddenly, and he heard the statue of the statue shatter with a "bang". A spirit flew out of it, shining brightly, until it entered the purple golden bowl. He Jianfei took away the relic necklace and chanted The talisman sealed the purple golden bowl.
"Although I still don't know your senior's Taoist name and can't recognize him, he is indeed a member of my world. I was rude just now, and I hope you will forgive me." He Jianfei bowed to the old Taoist, who smiled and made a false apology. "He... He Jianfei, you just said... about the two heroes on campus... those fierce ghosts..." Old Man Li's voice changed in tone behind He Jianfei. He Jianfei sighed and said, "Don't make me say it." Old Man Li's whole body was trembling. His teeth were chattering, and he laughed for a while and said: "Haha, I know, Aqiang was killed by this evil ghost. He wanted to reincarnate so he wanted to eat people, so..." He Jianfei couldn't listen anymore and turned around and yelled. Said: "Stop talking nonsense! You have already guessed that the A Qiang you know is not A Qiang at all! The person you know, live with, and deal with is no longer the same person! The friend you admire is this fierce ghost. The real Aqiang has been possessed by a evil spirit! It's painful to say it, but the fact is the fact. How long are you going to run away?!" Old Man Li stood quietly opposite him, with no emotion in his eyes. He said coldly: "I didn't guess anything, you were just making up stories." He Jianfei, with piercing eyes, forced him to say: "Do you still remember that time, when you asked me why you were okay after entering the temple? , and as soon as I got close, he fought back crazily. I have never been able to figure this out. Until just now, I tried it again. At this critical moment of life and death, that evil ghost still refuses to take your life. Why does it care for you? Yes, this can only mean that it has a deep friendship with you, so it can't bear to kill you. The white-haired man said that there had been peace here for more than 20 years, precisely because of the evil ghost possessing Aqiang. . After A Qiang died, he came back. According to this logical reasoning, the only person who meets these conditions is A Qiang." Old Man Li sneered: "He Jianfei, don't you think this explanation is too far-fetched?"
_He Jianfei walked to the broken statue in silence, searched it with his hands, took out a dusty rectangular object, handed it to Old Man Li and said hoarsely: "Take it, this is the biggest one" The proof - his diary. No matter what, it was written in his own hand, you will always believe it."
Old Man Li looked at it hesitantly for a while, and finally took the diary and slowly opened the first page. He saw the first line written in familiar handwriting: "Actually, I am not a person, but a ghost. A vicious ghost who has been wronged for many years." Old Uncle Li's eyes suddenly turned black, the world was spinning, and he fainted with a "gudong" sound. He Jianfei was on guard and caught him firmly. The old Taoist shook his head and said: "Why are you so anxious to expose such a cruel fact? He is old and frail, how can he withstand this blow?" He Jianfei slowly placed Old Man Li on the ground, preparing to find a place for him He lay down for a while and said: "He has guessed it a long time ago, but he just refuses to admit it. The 'two heroes on campus' are both too smart and too ambitious. If you don't break this membrane, he will never be able to untie it for the rest of his life." I have a knot in my heart and will be tortured by it all my life.”
The old Taoist said: "It's time for me to go..."
He Jianfei stood up and interrupted with a half-smile: "Don't worry, I would like to ask the senior to tell you in detail what happened that year. You don't know that this disciple has this weird temperament of breaking the casserole and asking for answers." The old Taoist was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. : "No wonder, no wonder, I have it too. If you like to hear it, I'll talk about it."
"Back then, I served Master and practiced on the mountain. As for the name of this mountain, Master said you can't tell people nonsense, so I can't tell you, just call it a certain mountain." He Jianfei frowned slightly. "I was only 5 years old at the time, but I had an outstanding memory and a very bright talent. Not to mention the Tao Te Ching, I knew all the Tao Te Ching by heart, and I was handsome and handsome..." He Jianfei could no longer hold back: "Senior..." Old He said: "I'm not boasting. If I didn't tell you in advance, you would later accuse me of not telling the truth and say, 'How can a child remember so clearly?' Wouldn't I be able to say no to you?" Seeing that He Jianfei was about to make a statement again. He said hurriedly: "Don't talk. This will interrupt my train of thought and make me unable to remember. Where did I go? By the way, he was handsome. I was indeed very handsome then, even more handsome than you are now. He's handsome." Seeing that He Jianfei's face was getting darker and darker, and he was about to get angry, so he hurriedly continued: "Let's get down to business, let's get down to business. One night, I saw Master watching the sky at night, and I watched it all night long. , I never closed my eyes. When I woke up in the morning, I saw Master with bloodshot eyes saying to me: "Disciple, there is a big chaos in the southwest. We must go quickly, otherwise more people will die." I didn't understand anything, so I just followed Master to clean up. There were no trains or cars at that time, and Master didn’t like riding carriages. So the two of us kept walking toward the southwest, only resting for two or three hours at night. After walking for three days, my legs almost broke. . Finally, Master said, 'This is it.' I looked up, and it turned out that there was a big mountain in front of me, which looked ordinary. But the atmosphere inside was extremely strange. The trees and grass didn't seem to be green, but green. It was purple-red and exuded a stench. There was no wind in the mountains, it was very hot, and I always felt like something was moving around me. Later, I couldn't help but asked the master, and the master stopped and looked. He looked at the leaves and grass, nodded and said, yes, look. He found a big branch, pushed aside a piece of grass and dug out the soil at the roots. I was so scared that I took a dozen steps back and fell to the ground crying. . What do you think is buried underneath? Hehe, yes, there is a corpse underneath, but it’s not just one, but dozens, hundreds, or thousands of them, stacked on top of each other. Some feet crushed the hands of another corpse. , some heads are missing, each corpse has a horrible shape, with a thick yellow water flowing from the body, the face is bloody and bloody, and many flies are biting desperately... Oh, I won't go on, although I have seen a lot now After all this, I am no longer afraid, but I still have nightmares like this at night, which scares me into a cold sweat." The old Taoist sighed, his expression extremely sad. He Jianfei was a little surprised at first, but soon realized that the old Taoist was thinking of his dead master, so he felt sad.
The old Taoist paused for a moment and then continued: "Master saw that I was so frightened, and his face was sullen, and he said: 'How can I do great things in the future if I have been so scared since I was a child!' Master has always been kind to me. , he never said a harsh word to me. His expression was indeed terrible that day. I stopped crying immediately and just looked at him blankly. The master stared at the corpses for a long time and sighed: "That's all, I'll leave you alone." It's true that I shouldn't come here at such a young age, but God's will is that I will bear all the sins I have." After saying that, he said to me: "Get up." I followed him timidly, not daring to say another word. After walking for less than a day this time, I saw a small town. The color of the bricks in the city was the same as the vegetation in the mountains. It was purple-red, which was an ominous color. The master said happily: "Hope is not too late." Let's go When I entered the city, I was immediately surprised. The streets inside were filled with all kinds of corpses. There were really mountains of corpses. The stench of decay was floating in the sky. There were empty houses everywhere, and the furniture inside was in a mess. There was not a single living person in sight on the ground, and Master's expression became terrifying again. He didn't say a word, just stood on the street and just meditated, murmuring: 'All dead? Oh my god, how should I deal with this? Tianlidu No way.' I thought he was worried that he wouldn't be able to defeat the evil spirit, so I advised him, 'Why don't we go call some uncles, and we'll fight again when they come.' The master said angrily, 'You still don't think there are enough people to die?' I had never seen Master get angry before, and I was so frightened that I stopped on the spot. Master thought for a long time, and finally seemed to make up his mind and said: 'No matter what, I'll go meet him for a while. Anyway, there is this child.' He glanced at me, wondering. Why did I shiver all over my body.
"When we came to this open space, I put down my schoolbag and reminded Master to place the incense table. Master shook his hand and said no, pulled out the sword with a swish sound, pointed it at the sky and shouted: 'Li Gui, if you are a bloody man, then you will "Come out and talk to me, don't be a coward." A bolt of lightning suddenly struck in front of us. Suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and strong winds. I knew that the sword could cause lightning and thunder, so I wasn't too scared. I expected that the evil spirit would be there. They were stunned by our formation. Unexpectedly, there were gloomy sneers from all around: 'You stinking Taoist priest, are you trying to scare me with this rotten sword? I had expected you to come. How are you going to stay? ' My master was startled for a moment and shouted: "You dare to be so arrogant when you see me. You have really done enough." The voice laughed loudly and said: "Smelly Taoist, I should be asking you this question. Are you confident?" Can you beat me?" The master said angrily: "How do you know if you haven't beaten me? Even if you can't beat me, will we people in the magic world pity our lives and forget our duty to conquer demons?" The voice chuckled. Said: 'Tianyun? Do you dare to say that your actions this time are also in line with God's will? Paying back debts and killing people to pay for one's life is the law of heaven. My existence in this world is the true will of God. You have so many abilities to do it Why are our brothers who suppress us so stingy and unwilling to put in any effort to suppress those officers and soldiers who kill people indiscriminately?" The master looked troubled, and after a while he said: "Don't make excuses. We in the magic world don't care about human affairs." The voice said coldly: 'Hey, I understand, in your magic world, regardless of right or wrong, ghosts are wrong anyway, and people should be suppressed as long as they die.' My master was speechless for a long time, then looked up to the sky and sighed: 'You don't have to be so sarcastic. You have your difficulties, and I have mine. Even if I go against the will of heaven, I will fight with you. Stop talking nonsense and accept the move!' A burst of lightning struck, and the master's figure had disappeared. Then There was a rumbling sound in the sky, a lot of lightning flashing randomly, black clouds quickly filled the entire sky, a cold wind blew around, and there was flying sand and rocks. I was so fascinated that I couldn't open my eyes, so I had to find a bush to hide. Amidst the whistling wind, I vaguely heard the clash of swords. Then I heard Master yelling, and the wind stopped. I waited for a while, but there was still no sound outside. I became scared, so I shouted I shouted: 'Master!' I heard a very weak voice outside calling me: 'Child, come out quickly. Master has something to tell you.' I was cold and hungry, and I had been impatient for a long time. When I heard these words He was overjoyed and climbed out quickly, but was immediately stunned.
"Master fell to the ground covered in blood, barely holding up half of his body with his sword. He tried his best to look at me with his eyes wide open, and waved: 'Child, come here.' I was so horrified that I took two steps back: 'No. , Master, you..." Master coughed twice and said, "Don't be afraid, the evil ghost was also injured and couldn't attack us for a while. Come here quickly." I felt sad, rushed forward, hugged Master and cried loudly. Even though I was young at the time, I knew Master's name. It was really unusual for the top master in the Taoist world to be injured all over his body. When Master saw me coming, he was not comforted, but there was a look of relief on his face. Se, raised his head and shouted: "Li Gui, listen, I'm telling you. You have a lot of grievances, and it is certainly against God's will for me to suppress you, but you have to understand that God will not punish you for killing people now, but if you are more than ten years old, I will not punish you." Years later or decades later, your grievances and murderous rage will sooner or later cancel each other out. By then you will be addicted to killing and cannot stop, and if you kill one more person, you will be burned by heavenly fire and experience all kinds of pain. You're in a state of shock. If you want to avoid this happening, we might as well make a deal." The ghost hesitated and said, "What deal?" The master said, "I'll tell the people here to build a small temple for each of you, so that you can enjoy the incense all the time." Sacrifice, this will not only make you free, but also greatly increase the time you can stay in this world. In time, you will be able to move the heaven and the earth. If you can continue to practice hard, you may be able to be ranked among the immortals." How can I believe what you say? ? "You are a master in the Taoist world, how can I still lie to you?" Li Gui was obviously persuaded. After all, the temptation to become a fairy was great. So my master asked the people who survived in the city to build these small temples for them. , and used a large amount of copper deer tongue to form a barrier to prevent them from regretting and escaping. When the matter was finally settled, it was already half a month later. The master vomited blood more and more often at night. I was so scared that I just cried. I helped the master out of the city and prepared to go back to the mountain. The master was quite energetic at first, but once he passed the mountain, he said: "I can't hold it anymore." Then he fell down. I was at a loss and cried. :'Master, get up. The apprentice will listen to you obediently.' The master touched my face and said warmly: 'Okay, I know you are very obedient. Then listen now, the master has something to tell you. I just said to that person What the ghost said are all lies. I have secretly arranged those temples into a southern formation, which can weaken the magic power of the ghost year by year. I watch the sky at night and know that the ghost will have a great disaster in eighty years. Most of its magic power will be deprived of him, then we can deal with him. Master can't wait for this day, but you must remember to help Master fulfill this wish. I want you to solve this big case with your own hands.' I cried :'Master, you say a lot, I don't understand it, so don't say it.' Master said: 'Remember it first, and you will understand it gradually later. Don't say it, Master... I will never have a chance to talk to you again. La. Child, you have to be good and learn to take care of yourself in the future.'" When the old man said this, his eyes turned red, his throat became choked up, and he could no longer speak. He Jianfei couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of his deceased loving teacher and father.
After stopping for a long time, the old Taoist said sadly: "I cried on my master for a day and a night, and my voice became hoarse from crying. Then your master's master arrived. He shook his head and sighed for a long time, and finally said to me: 'My child , Forget it, this is all fate. If it weren't for your master, countless people in the world would have died." He was so long-winded that I lost count. Forget it, I don't want to go on. Master didn't like it when he was alive. I cry." The old Taoist shook his head and said no more. At this point, He Jianfei roughly understood what was going on. The experienced Taoist master could not go against the will of God and suppress the evil ghost who was supposed to kill people for revenge, so he did not hesitate to destroy his reputation as a Taoist leader and tricked him into entering the South Dou Formation formed by these small temples, and made a sophisticated plan to suppress him eighty years later. He Jianfei was silent for a while and then said: "Senior Master... deceived it like this, even though it is a ghost, but... it seems..." The old Taoist smiled heartily: "It seems despicable, right? If Master hadn't done this, more people would have died. , He was really in a dilemma at that time, and could only sacrifice himself." He Jianfei said hurriedly: "No, I mean that the old man did this, and he was not afraid that the evil spirit would be furious when he discovered the truth in the future, and even the gods would be unable to do anything." The old Taoist looked calm. He said: "My master's skills are so profound. It is commonplace to predict good or bad luck in the future. He has naturally taken these into account." He Jianfei shook his head, feeling that this was still very unfair to the fierce ghost.
